This edition provides an overview of more than a thousand years of Islamic art and culture, from the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of India and China. Robert Hillenbrand describes the origin and development of various art forms such as architecture, calligraphy, book illumination, painting, ceramics, glasswork, textiles, and metalwork.
New in this edition is a chapter on the period circa 1700–1900, often overlooked in similar publications. Hillenbrand highlights the remarkable artistic flourishing in these centuries and emphasizes the importance of this period for Islamic art.
The edition contains 227 full-color illustrations of masterpieces from Moorish Spain to contemporary Iran. These images show both the stylistic development and the recurring themes that have characterized Islamic art since the seventh century.
